Important Safety Notes

By purchasing this kit, you have agreed to hold AkitikA, LLC harmless for any injuries
you may receive in its assembly and/or use. To prevent injuries:
 Wear safety glasses when soldering to prevent eye injuries.
 Always unplug the power before working on the amplifier.
 Large capacitors hold lots of energy for a long time. Before you put your hands
into the amplifier:
o Pull the AC plug!
o Wait 1 full minute for the capacitors to discharge!
 Remove jewelry and rings from your hands and wrists, or anything that might
dangle into the amplifier.
 If working in the amplifier, keep one hand in your pocket, especially if you're
near the power supply or power supply wires. This can prevent serious shocks.
 Build with a buddy nearby. If you've ignored all the previous advice, they can
dial 911 or get you to the hospital.

Recommended Solder

The kit must be assembled with 60/40 Rosin Core solder. The recommended diameter is
0.032 inches. Among many such sources of solder, I have used
 Kester 24-6337-8800 50 Activated Rosin Core Wire Solder Roll, 245 No-Clean,
63/37 Alloy, 0.031" Diameter. This is a 1 pound roll of solder. No-clean means
that it leaves the minimum possible residue on the PCB.
 MG Chemicals 60/40 Rosin Core Leaded Solder, 0.032" Diameter, 0.6 oz Pocket
